1. What is the primary source of turbulence that you would expect while flying over land at 200 feet AGL around noontime on a summer day far from any cyclones or fronts?
2. List the sources of turbulence below the base of thunderstorm.
3. The majority of moderate or greater CAT occurs near what large-scale meteorological feature?
4. What are the approximate intensities of turbulence experienced under each of the following conditions?
• Your airspeed fluctuates +/- 20 knots
• Your g-meter registers 1.3g.
• While flying straight and level, your rate of climb jumps to 500f.p.m.
• Unsecured objects are tossed about in the cockpit.
5. You are approaching a field in flat terrain. The surface wind is reported to be 30 knots with gust. Based on wind speed alone, what intensity of turbulence do you expect as your near ground level?
6. Interpret the following PIREP (refer to Appendix B in your textbook) UA/OV MRB/FL060/SK CLR/TB MDT/RM TURBC INCRS WWD.
7. In your preflight preparation for a flight across a mountainous area a front is forecasted to be moving through the area at the time of your flight. It is a “dry” front (no precipitation of clouds), so icing and low clouds and ceilings are not a problem. Are there any other potential flight hazards?
8. You are approaching a north-south mountain range from the east. The mountain top is 10,000 feet MSL, your altitude is 12,000 feet MSL, 500 mb wind is 340 degrees at 25 knots , and 700 mb wind is 270 degrees at 35 knots. Discuss. Consider the same situation but this time your approach is from the west.
9. You are diverting around a thunderstorm on the downwind side. The sky under the anvil is clear. If you fly infer the anvil, it will save time and you might not have to stop for additional fuel. Discuss your options and risks of each options. (do at least 3 options)
10. If you are flying over the North Pacific at 30,000 feet MSL with a strong tailwind and your encounter CAT, what would you do to get out of it? Explain.
